I feel like there's like 10 angry/crazy therapist shows on right now and I think like, 3 of them are on Apple TV.

This is too true 😂

Highly recommend The Patient! Esp if you're a Domhnall fan

I like Christa Miller but damn does she always show up in Bill Lawrence's show.

[crimps4]

Right?! Has she had work that doesn't involve her husband?

[sabrina54]

The Drew Carey Show (which is still the first show I associate her with) might be the only one.

I’ve seen the first 3 thanks to a survey and I hate Jason Segels character lol he’s such a jerk.
I liked everyone else though so I might finish it when I get AppleTv back

👀 Me too. I have too much of a soft spot for Jason Segel because I think otherwise I would have hated Jimmy lol, a fact which I acknowledged in the survey.

I hope future episodes delve into Gaby more, because I remember by the third they were starting to delve into Harrison's character more but she was still on the backburner.

I felt seen by this part from the THR review:

Tapping once again into the combination of puppyish eagerness and slightly unhinged intensity that’s defined his most memorable roles, from Freaks and Geeks to How I Met Your Mother to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Segel makes Jimmy a sad sack more endearing than pitiful. But (unsurprisingly) the true highlight of Shrinking‘s star-studded ensemble cast is Ford, wearing his lovable grump role as confidently as Paul does his signature fedora. He delivers some of Shrinking‘s most heartbreaking moments, as when his voice goes raw with vulnerability while trying to speak with his adult daughter (Lily Rabe) about his Parkinson’s

why do all apple tv+ shows eerily look the same, they all look like shows that are made to be played in the living room of a family on another tv show on tv

Or as demos in stores.
